About Section:
In this video, we will discuss how Miyamoto Musashi conquered anxiety and how we can also do the same, learning from his perspective, teachings, actions, and life. We will discuss the Book of Five Rings, dokkodo, and his philosophy, and also share a personal story on how CZcams made my anxiety go through the roof. With Musashi's help, I finally got a better perspective on things.

For my religious beliefs, can prayer and meditation be interchangeable?
@@nathhenn8966 Absoluletly, I also pray much more than meditate
😊🤡❤
Anxiety is being in your head anticipating the outcome instead of being present in the moment
Wow, if this isn't a perfect definition of anxiety I don't know what is.
I always would say to myself "Action for action and not expected outcomes is enlightenment." I still haven't been able to live it out though
@@thisfoodhits6205 thanks bro, just first hand experience
@@ramanmonkey you have to decide to put your mental wellbeing first, no exceptions
just tell your self. "instead of what ifs or imagining things, i say lets find out, why not try and be proud in taking action for the sole reason of taking action." rationalize your anxiety/fear and give yourself a different outcome
anxiety , weakness ,low self esteem , every things comes from being lying to yourself , accept the cards you dealt with - everyone is unique accept that - Be Yourself and Love it ,now your powerful , you have no insecurity , low esteem , weakness because you accepted the reality -The truth
@@peez_nuts Most can't connect with it
@@peez_nuts I struggle with connecting people through online
The cards I was dealt are the cards I'm struggling with.
Credit cards 🙃
@@SmallHandsBigBite lol
@@SmallHandsBigBiteI’m pretty sure those cards wasn’t delt those were cards you chose 😂
Meditation twice a day works for me. Puts the problems into perspective and breaks the circle of thought.
I don't feel anxiety. Anxiety feels me
💯
What you mean by that ? 🧐📸
@@peez_nuts it rly flew right over ur head didnt it ?
😂😂😂different
@roannfanis2216 yeah I'm simply different 😅🤣
Note that, the more you think about the enemy (anxiety) and how to outsmart him, the more you indirectly fuel the enemy. The simplest yet hardest way is to try and live for now. “Being present”. What will be, will be.
Musashi and Marcus Aurelius could have been great friends if they had met.
They may have been the same spirit in different times and places...
@@brando4483 Wow, I didn't see it that way. I like that idea.
Life of a philosipher is a lonely one friend. You will find the way. In all things
this guy thinks he’s a philosopher lmaooo
@@cheesborgar6925 nope friend. I only claim to be a simple man with complicated thoughts. Nothing more.
Truly we’re all philosophers. We all follow some system, in how we act, our ethics, etc.
Anxiety sucks but it's gotten better since I've found Bushido and stoicism, Blessed Be.
Try Vipasana, a practical way of stoicism
Bravery is not the absence of fear but rather the realisation that some things are more important
Where can i learn about bushido and stoicism
Bird Person: you have to study it, Blessed Be.
@birdperson2854 Marcus Aurelius, Musashi's Book of 5 Rings, Google what you want and go down the rabbit holes. There is a ton of info, books, videos, make use of the technology. It's there if you want it.
If one antecipates and prepares for the challenge ahead, of course one reduces anxiety. But anxiety usually happens when things, being dynamic as they are, "change" whatever you've been preparing to. You can prepare deeply for your trip, but is the "road block ahead, detour here" sign that causes you anxiety. Word of advice, when anxious: get tired physically. Run until you run out of breath. An already racing heart cannot run anxious, because it "can't run 2 races", and you rebalance yourself. Works miracles for me.
Yes, I have also found that strenuous exercise helps a lot in times of anxiety.
Running for that purpose have saved me from madness quite few times. Have learned that hard way, but indeed- it works
Works for me too. I be having a panic attack but as soon I obliterate myself in the gym and come back everything becomes... Peaceful
Thank you! I havent tried this and will do the next time anxiety attacjs
Never have anxiety over your vids my man. They are fantastic. The ONLY reason you don’t have more views is bc we live in a shallow time and people are not chasing truth and wisdom like us few. I appreciate you and all the work you do. Keep grinding my man.
Thank you so much, means a lot!
"Many are called, few are chosen."
Lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears of understanding 😅
I went through something similar when I started sharing my art online, the looking at the metrics, falling into the traps of posting frequently instead of taking the time and do better art, the frustration when a post didn't do well. Now I take my time and don't play the algorithm game, my art is steadily improving as I focus on the process more, I enjoy it more and whatever I produce is going to be better as a result.
Awesome! Great mindset, keep it up.
I needed to read this one. Thank you for this.
Just had my 1st anxiety attack a week 1/2 ago at only 29, this vid couldnt have come at a better time.
May you be well 🙏
This was very insightful. I used to also look at anxiety as an enemy to be defeated. Now I have a different perspective. Anxiety is just an internal alarm, evolved to warn us of danger. An alarm is a good thing because it can keep us safe. Therefore, I don't look to disconnect the alarm, nor do I ignore it, like many would suggest. I rely on that alarm for protection, just like I wouldn't take the batteries out of my fire alarm or just ignore it when it sounds. What if there's a real fire and I don't notice it and respond in time? It's telling you there's something you need to look at, and maybe that's what you should do. "Stupid anxiety won't shut up about finals tomorrow. Go away anxiety!" No, you're anxious because you haven't studied. However, sometimes alarms can be overly sensitive and/or produce false alarms, often through faulty programming. So it's important to gauge whether the alarm needs adjusting. Maybe my burglar alarm is too sensitive and goes off every time a strong breeze hits the window. I know the sensor needs addressing. So too, if my internal alarms are going off needlessly, I should dial back the sensors. I do this through exposure therapy and cognitive reframing. "Oh, I spoke in front of the crowd WITHOUT making a fool of myself. In fact, everyone applauded. That's not a situation to fear and avoid." Over time, the anxiety is lessened or no longer arises at all. And if it does, I'm able to silence it effectively because I KNOW through experience it's a false alarm and I'm not just telling myself that to avoid a crappy feeling. The anxiety of having anxiety is usually worse than the anxiety of the situation itself. And that will persist as long as you continue to view anxiety as a foe. Reframe that, be grateful for your anxiety device, but say "Thank you, but I don't need you right now" when appropriate.
This is one of the best summaries I've ever seen on youtube. It shows deep understanding and your thoughts on your own ecxperiences really help make the lessons relevant and tangible in our own lives. Well don I am super impressed and will be saving and subscribing.
Absolute great video! I am bookmarking it to watch over and over until I have fully internalized all lessons within. Thank you for your work! I subscribed and hope you find greater success than you could have dreamed!
love your videos man, always look forward to them. Narration, visuals and content are awesome! Keep fllowing dude.
Thank you so much, more coming soon, glad you're sticking by !
for some reason, reframing anxiety (and other emotions that can become problematic) as an opponent that can be strategized against and outmaneuvered is the kind of mindset that really just clicked for me
This video is exactly what I needed in this moment. And the art shown in the video is very nice.
I'm amazed by your channel, these ideias are cornertone and so important, but its really difficult to convey them the way you do. Congratz friend!
Thank you for sharing your personal story that I found extremely helpful. Here’s wishing you further success as you continue on your journey.
This was beautiful. Thank you!
TY for this, I needed this reminder after losing my way.
Best of luck for you!!! You do a great job on your videos, no matter what the number down there says, you dony control that, you control the quality and passion behind the content, much love brother.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your own personal anxieties and experiences at the end
needed this today fella, cheers
it was nice to hear your story. I enjoy hearing the modern perspectives you have on the teachings of mushashi, really is timeless!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jiri Prochazka is my favorite MMA fighter and his interviews brought me here. The content and ideas in this video are absolutely amazing!
You are doing a great job my friend! Blessings to
You❤
This was just what I needed right now. Been stressing over a game that I have been working on for the better part of a year. Now that I have put so much time and effort into it, I start to get intrusive thoughts that make me worry if I will be able to finish it or not. Or if it will "be worth it" in the end.
Definitiv going to read up on Musashi, and I think your channel has well earned another sub.
What's the game
@@AngryPeasant125 It is a third person action RPG with a gameplay cycle inspired by the flash game "Swords and sandals 2". That`s the short description at least. No marketing materials are made yet. But there is a early prototype out on itch.
Excellent. Liked. Subscribed. Congratulations for a beautiful and effective video. Love how you tied it into your own experience. Seriously. Congrats and thank you.
this is really awesome. i practice mindfulness but need to make it a habit but i have learned many things from these videos
Thank you. I've been unable to exercise and commit to my daily disciplines due to an injury. I've grown frustrated with myself and anxious of what is to come. Your essay has brought me some peace and hope. I'm sure you've helped more people than you'll ever know.
Valuable, well crafted content. 👍
1) Meditation/Journaling 2) Take small steps to conquer your goals for improvement in any area of life 3) Accept everything as they are 4) Get Prepared/ Detailed Planning
great video! what i found out through zen practice is that you cannot truly control it, when will it come or what will come. you just stay with it and let it fuel you. so if anxiety hits, that's a dose of excitement wrapped with negative beliefs about the situation! so, when i got struck by anxiety and fear, i just blast off...steph curry is a great example of channelling anxiety into something amazing.
PROFOUND.....AND MUSASHI IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PPL IN THE HISTORY OF MAN. THANKS MAN, THIS HIT HOME!
good video, i really resonated with the end, it was a good reminder to stay focus on the project im workin on and its process. i've fallen into so many negative pitfalls while stressing over the success of older projects i've straight up ruined them for myself and have a hard time workin on them these days.
Glad it helped brother, be in a state of flow, things are much better
Very nice video. Loved it.
this is one of the best channels on CZcams
Millions of views or not.. your videos are really helping me overcome a lot of my shortcomings. You are greatly appreciated 💪
Thank you so much, glad they help!
Great video 🙏🏽 thank you
The best part was you sharing your story . It changed my attention immediately.respect 👊🤘🙏
Happy to hear that!
Your last personal story resonates with me as I sat here and figure I am a failure with my CZcams channel. Thanks for the uplift.
The difference you channel makes will never be reflected in the number of views or likes. For your viewers you are helping us to view life in a healthier way that leads to more happiness. You will probably seldom be able to see the true difference your work makes but trust me it's there! Love you channel man, it really helps me alot.
Glad it helps brother, it really means a lot!
Fantastic. I appreciate not only what you have offered, but have validated for me of what I have been discovering on my own. Bravo.
Your words at the end were helpful to me about building my own channel.
Thank you for posting this, and helping enlighten me to ways of thought I had not really taken into consideration.
I too am content creator, who is focusing to much on the Numbers and stats. Setting high expectations for my content.
I will also look into this guidance further.
Vision boards are a good way to help with your future selves.
Thanks again, and I hope you continue your journey of growth.
“This too will pass.” Your narration skills are top-tier. Will definitely check out other topics you’ve covered. Thanks for the hard work.
It’s a biblical phrase “This too, shall pass”.
So good thank you!
this helps me aswell❤
to stay true to the path❤
Well done. Thanks, I am interested in reading the book now.
Congrats 👏 🎉❤ awesome channel and video ❤
Thank you so much 🤗
This content is amazing. Youre like the Gorillaz of japanese philosophy. A totally animated character, super cool samurai dude ! Rock on 🤘
Thank you
Thanks for this video I really needed this right now. Been going threw a lot and have some good people around me👍🏼 realizing I got this and that kinda hope is beautiful thank you for helping me see this in myself again❤️
Brooo!!!! Love all the miyamoto musashi content, I’m particularly inspired by what he calls, “the two fold way” do a video on that, plz!!! “Every warrior should have a peaceful art as well as a killing art, this is the two fold way.”
through wabi-sabi i naturally embraced shikata ga nai, through mindfullness i repeatedly remind myself of gaman.
these have helped me immensely.
Very good matter. Helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm gonna be more like Musashi. This was eye opening.
I am here again my friend, thanks for being consistent
Thanks for the visit
Thank you @statueofwisdom this video struck a cord as I was working through some tasks I was avoiding at 2am.
Thanks
Very nice video. I look forward to seeing you grow.
Thank you so much!
I did this, unknowingly, for years...I separated myself from others and their expectations, so that I could focus on my inner self... People thought I was crazy, thought I'd lost my mind when I gave up living in a house, let my hair and nails grow out, ate what other people threw away....I know this all sounds silly right now, but I had plenty of time to work on myself...I now have a family, two cars, a nice house, and I'm nowhere near as stressed as most of the people I meet and work with... Thank you for making this video, it's so well versed and easy to understand, also congratulations for overcoming all the dumb shit
Dude, you've got one hell of a voice. Great message, too. Subscribed.
It's AI?
These visuals are so good
I interpret “if you know the way broadly you will see it in everything” has having a certain level of self understanding a having values that you deeply connect with, that aren’t just things imposed to you as right and wrong, but things you understand deeply and intuitively. If you have that a lot of your decisions become easy and intuitive, they are no longer a internal battle between your ego, your insecurities and your higher self and so you don’t need to rationalize as much and you can perform
in a flow like way without getting in your own way. But yeh, that’s just what I got from that sentence, and considering his origins would make sense for Taoist and Buddhist ways such as these to be applied here.
Great video ❤
Thank you!
Great video
Keep busy, it beats the illusion.
Thank you brother
Any time
Body and mind are one.
Anxiety shows up as a feeling in your body, that may or may not contain thought information.
To heal the mind, heal the body.
Healing the body means becoming one with the body.
Sink your mind into your body, like water filling a sponge.
Be present. Now.
Open your spine. Open all your joints.
This allows you to go deeper into your body.
Feel your energy and be one with it.
Be mindful without judgement. Let go of the inner critic and commentator.
Merge with the present moment in stillness.
In this stillness allow your emotions to express themselves.
Feel them. Release them.
Ask yourself: What do I really feel?
Feel the root cause. Now.
Relax deeper and fully feel the emotion in your body without labeling it.
Release. Let go.
Fill up the place of the emotion in the body with the love you truly are.
And smile.
That’s one powerful way to change the inner world, which we use in qigong. 😊
Btw you can release anger by laughing! All emotions are the same underlying energy.
It's right anxiety and thinking about past is distracting us from living in the present moment
And this could lead us to complete useless things and waiting our time and life
9:52 This imagery of Miyamoto, coding with a shiteating grin got me right here❤.
All, if you haven't read Vagabond you should. It is a manga about Musashi's life and his growth from being a man obsessed with being the strongest, who is filled with bloodlust, to being enlightened and kind.
You talk of success, you have reached one person to turn his day around, I thank you and ask is this not a worthy success. Thank you for your gift.
You dudes have the coolest voices ever..
Anxiety and being inauthentic is highly connected. Authenticity means being in truth. It's not about believing or personal truths but the objectives truth itself. True happiness lies in the true religion.
nice content thank u so much
So nice of you
Some of this really good advice and some seems to be based on CBT techniques that actually increase anxiety. Preparation is important, but not at expense of the present moment. Endless preparation is about fear of failure and could mean the fear is still in control. Balance in all things :)
I will subscribe to you. I have alot of stress and anxiety from being in the military. Its a long road. Thank you for your support
Military is to blame for everything. I can only imagine how guilty and stupid you feel for ever having joined.
expectations are the thief of joy!
The book of five rings is on my top 3 books I read over and over.
It took me far too long to beat anxiety
But it was something that i probably could've conquered in my 20s with the right guidance
You'd think 5 different therapists, 3 doctors, and 1 nurse practitioner who Loved to use that prescription pad would've got it done but it was me, on my own, drug free in my 40s
Decades of suffering.
I dind´t knew Musashi edited videos for CZcams! 😂....jokes aside, thanks for making this video with passion and care, to help us out in this world which everyday modern life can led us to more anxiety than previous years.
Beautiful ❤story of yours
I have suffered from anxiety for years. It usually comes when travelling in cars,I feel like I can’t swallow and I’m going to choke, it’s an overall feeling of doom and I can’t breathe. I can’t drive because of it, it’s crippling.
I've had numerous opportunities in my life, such as language learning courses, a good education, and ample time. However, I chose to remain in my comfort zone because everyone kept saying, "You are smart", "You speaky very well", "You learn things quickly", and so on. While these statements are true, they didn't contribute significantly to improving aspects of my life. Presently, I'm studying Computer Science, and I'm facing the same challenge. I've observed my friends and classmates progressing in their lives while I feel stuck, leading to heightened anxiety.
I'm learning to manage this anxiety and focus more on the present, letting go of worries bout future results and regrets. My advice is: don't fixate on reaching your goal within a specific timeframe, instead, concentrate on moving in the right direction. Thanks to the Statue of Wisdom for the insightful tips and content. Sending hugs from Brazil! I wish you success in your life. Goodbye.
There’s more philosophy on that concept of misleading young people into thinking they’re smart enough, that improvement is no longer necessary. But that’s always a lie.
Look up the term “Dunning-Kruger effect” and what causes it, as well as the opposite effect, called “Imposter Syndrome”. Balance between the two is where I recommend people to be.
Hi man, great content, really great. One feedback from me, I think it would be better to use less character imageries. I think if you make it simpler but not too much and clean, it would make me more focused on what you have to say. Keep up the good work. Perhaps you can implement this feedback and test it to your peers and see which one is better.
Anxiety is easy to understand. It's your mind telling you something is wrong. You probably know what it is deep inside you just avoid it. That's anxiety.
new sub here, great message.
God bless you bro .
Thank you! God bless you!
@@statueofwisdomwhat is the name of the music in the begining of the video
Thank you brother. Your story is heartwarming. Focusing on one's craft. Regardless of a perceived success. I'm proud of you. God bless. 🙏
Thank you so much brother, glad my video still help you!
Thank you for the great recommendation. Any specific books you liked the most?
For me Dokkodo
thanks A.I
Great wisdom.
Is there where Brave Fencer Musashi came from?
Might help to allow the anxiety to run it's course, to process it fairly quickly
It all points to Vipassana meditation 🕊
Miyamoto Musashi + Marcus Aurelius = Real Power
Haha, true
Is there a particular version of his books you can recommend? Maybe chuck a link or details in description? Cheers mate. good luck out there!
If you can find the one without additional explanations like simple editiong of the Book of Five Rings
@@statueofwisdom thank you :)
